They are in business to make profits and it is their best interest to maximize those profits (isn't that we keep being told about the oil companies and their record profits lately?). If there is hard evidence that revenues increase with the removal of smokers, every chain restaurant in the country would be non smoking regardless of local laws.

Most of those stats skewed, yeah there has been an increase in revenue its called population growth... We made our area smoke free two years ago but the population also doubled, but we will just chalk it up to smoke free environments and not that certain areas populations have doubled or tripled...
Lets take Johnson county as an example, If you campare profits for their bars five years ago today, is it because of smoke free places or that their population doubled???

Practically every stat they throw out is this way.. If I shit and it rains, then by thier reasoning it rains because I take a shit...
And this is from a nonsmoker who hates smoking...
